11 businesses in Koh Phangan
The real estate market on Koh Phangan has grown considerably more sophisticated as the island's popularity with long-stay expats and remote workers has increased, and the agent landscape reflects that evolution. You'll find a range of agents — some specialising in luxury pool villas and land sales like NXS Group, others like Pavana Boutique focused on a curated selection of lifestyle properties with a stronger curatorial approach. Foreign ownership rules in Thailand are a fundamental factor that every buyer must understand — freehold land ownership is legally restricted for foreigners, which means leasehold structures, company purchases, or Thai partner arrangements are the realistic pathways. A good local agent will walk you through these structures clearly rather than glossing over the legal complexity. Villa prices vary enormously: entry-level properties in less-developed areas can start around 3–5 million THB, while sea-view or beachfront villas with pools can exceed 15–30 million THB. The island's continued growth as a remote work and wellness destination has kept values firm in recent years.
